Synopsis

Excerpt from Mr. Nobody, Vol. 1 of 3

The Shakespearian winter, 'when coughing drowns the parson's saw,' was still said to be succeeded by the mildness Of a spring in which young people were fabled to bathe their faces with dew, and to go a-maying decked in white blossoms under sunlit skies.

Yet the traditions Of our fathers were already beginning to be shaken. And the nation, which was suffering from the bad effects of two nu congenial, wet summers, was ill prepared to eu counter another January Of extraordinary frost and snow. August and September had not brought the red ripened corn, the warm, sweet twilights, or the soft harvest moons; nor had the 'happy autumn fields' Of October been as genial as usual, with brown nuts, ruddy apples, and touches Of russet and gold.

Product Description

Excerpt from Mr. Nobody, Vol. 1 of 3 It was in the latter days of December, 1829, before the seasons had begun to puzzle and discomfort agriculturists, or 'to totter, ' as Rossetti says, 'in their walk.' It was a time when the months were supposed to act up fairly to their accustomed character. The Yule-log was still expected to blaze at Christmas time, and March was more associated with the daffodils, 'that come before the swallows dare, ' than with the pale cheeks and red nose of youth, or the dust which brings tears into the eyes of 'reverend age.'
